OKTBC is an bi-annual one-day free event for teens and YA-lit fans, aimed at connecting Oklahoma teens to YA authors and books. The mission of the Oklahoma Teen Book Convention is to provide an opportunity for teens to celebrate a love of reading through a multi-faceted experience of diverse activities in an inclusive and accepting environment.

What about the authors?

how many books can you have signed?

You can get as many items as you want signed depending on how much you want to wait in line. You can get a limit of 3 items signed per round in line.

can you bring books from home to get signed?

Yes, you may bring 2 books from home for every 1 book you buy at the festival. Book titles and prices are here. There are also nifty items from the Swag Shop you can buy to have signed.

why is oktbc in a different city this year?

The OKTBC is a bi-annual (every other year) event. We hope to visit a different city each year so more Oklahoma teens will have a chance to take part in an awesome celebration. The first OKTBC in 2017 was held in Guthrie. This year, 2019, will be in Norman. And in 2021? Who knows - it could be your hometown!
